#debugging an assortment of AKOS costumes in their encoded form is oddly satisfying... (also I want this to watch all my memory allocations this way from now on)

projection of a bunch points with some kind of symmetry. The noise on the left produces point cloud on the right. #noise #colorful

TIL that the SF bay area #CHP and #caltrans have #FSP (freeway service patrol). Dial 511 and say 'FREEWAY ASSIST'. ( fsp-bayarea.org ). I am happy to see my tax dollars at work helping people.

SynAck, 5 months ago to random

Let's play a little game! In the interest of building community (and if you'd be willing to share), answer these 2 questions:

1. What does your username/alias mean?
2. How/Why did you choose that one?

I'm really curious to hear where some of y'all's names came from! I'll start.

1. SYN-ACK is the second step in the TCP handshake process (SYN -> SYN-ACK -> ACK). The SYN-ACK packet is the server's acknowledgement that the client's request has been received, and also sets a sequence number for server responses so that the client knows what packets are coming from the server.

2. I chose this for a couple of reasons:

   • I'm a software dev by trade, so I wanted something geeky and technical-sounding
   • It has my initials embedded in it
   • It metaphorically captures the concept of either posting a toot of my own (which is "ACK"ed by anyone who responds to it) or reading someone else's toot (replying to someone else's toot, thus "SYN-ACK"ed, well, by me :bec_grin: ).
   • An alternate version that I toyed with, SinAck, could tie into the Shadowrun concept of runners being SINless (where SIN == System Identification Number). Might still do that sort of shenanigans in my display name from time to time now that I've been here for a while. :bec_wink:​

This is the "gingerbreadman map", made by iterating (x,y) = (1 - y + abs(x), x)

(yes, really)

Since #gemini pro was added to #bard have you tried it? I wasn't blown away, the last year of change has dulled me to such things.. But it does give me hope that widely available models will be very useful.

lardratboy, 5 months ago to random

Some of the themed models that people are producing fascinating. What a time to be alive! https://huggingface.co/Pclanglais/MonadGPT

#dalle3 has trouble with my handle but sometimes mistakes are fun :-)

lardratboy, 7 months ago (edited 7 months ago) to aiart

Thoughts on #aiart in #gamedev? Which way is the wind blowing today? feel free to boost I'm curious.

lardratboy, 7 months ago to gamedev

spore creature creator, any modern analog to this out there being worked on? (ideally one that allows exports and that can be used in other works) #gamedev #3d
